State Route 730 was shut down at 8:15 a.m. due to an injury accident with downed power lines at “Holiday Lane and Timber Trail” according to scanner traffic. Officers report that “the ambulance was all over the road and the bridge is very slick.”

Between 9 and 10 a.m. there were reports of a vehicle “off the road and in the water” (although no report of injuries) on I-71 followed later by a van on its side on I-71.

Police officers, EMS crews, road crews and dispatchers are working feverishly to respond to all of the calls of accidents and cars that have slid off the road, as well as electric company crews.
